Psalm 119:118-120
New Catholic Bible
118 You cast away all those who swerve from your decrees;
their cunning is futile.
119 You discard all the wicked of the earth like dross;[a]
therefore, I love your teachings.
120 My flesh trembles[b] before you in terror;
your judgments fill me with awe.
Ayin
Footnotes
- Psalm 119:119 You discard . . . like dross: the Lord discards evildoers like dross, i.e., the scum that forms in refining precious metals and is discarded (see Jer 6:28-30).
- Psalm 119:120 My flesh trembles: a reminiscence of Job 4:15; 23:15 (see Ps 88:16). It denotes the dread of the sacred, the fear of the awesome God.
